Provide a clear, repeatable pattern for authenticating users in Convex applications and mapping external provider identities to application users so that authentication, authorization, and user management are consistent and secure.
Set up a users table with a tokenIdentifier index, implement getCurrentUser and storeUser helpers in your Convex backend, and configure your client to supply provider tokens (for example WorkOS or Auth0) and call storeUser after sign-in.
High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.
To set up Convex authentication, create a users table with a tokenIdentifier index, implement storeUser and getCurrentUser helpers, and configure your client to pass provider tokens from services like WorkOS or Auth0 to map external identities to application users.
Identity mapping in Convex links external provider identities to application users by upserting user records upon first sign-in using a tokenIdentifier index, ensuring consistent authentication and authorization across sessions.
Yes, you can use WorkOS or Auth0 for role-based access control in Convex by wiring client auth to provider tokens and implementing helper functions like requireAdmin to centralize authorization checks and team membership gates.
The best way to implement access control in Convex is by using auth helper functions like getCurrentUser to verify resource ownership and validate team-based membership gates before allowing owner-only operations or private queries.
Yes, secure user authentication in Convex requires a users table configured with a tokenIdentifier index to properly map external JWT provider identities and support upserting users on first sign-in.
Convex auth may return null if the client is not properly configured to supply provider tokens or if the storeUser function is not called after sign-in to map the external identity to the application users table.
